Default Mystery parts help.
Hello,

I've picked up a job lot of military wrapped spares. Some british and some american, and lots without lables!!! Can anyone recognise anything.

I'll start with an easy one, pistons all wrapped in grease and a ford parts label on it, part number E81A 6108 0 + .060. I also got a box of ten gasket sets for ford V8, they were wrapped with a newspaper dateed july 1944, so i'm hoping these are V8 too.

The point set (if I am reading the NSN correctly as 2920-00-606-8506) is also for the same trucks.

John, The headlights with the vertical lined glass and the two side mounts are British carrier lights (Loyd and Valentine as well)
Is the No1 Dizzy cap an Autolite from an Escort or Cortina (Mk1 or MkII)
